The Mason Cotton Gin Company,

During the past year the company
made very satisfactory progress in the
development and perfection of the Mason
Cylinder Cotton Gin-the South Caro-
lima invention by means of which new
process of ginning cotton has been sub.
stituted for the old system of saw gins.
The machines having shown their etlici.
ency by practical tests last year, the
company determined to introduce them
this year through sub.companies, which
are given the right to manufacture and
sell the gins on paying royalty to the
parent company.
Under this system a sub company,
known as the Climber Gin Company of
Charleston, was organized, and has man.
ufactured and sold a considerable num-
ber of the gins which are now working
on the new crop. The Milburn Gin and
Machine Company OF Memphis, Tenn,
have also entered into contract with the
parent company to manufacture and sell
the gins on royalty. The ginning sea.
son has Just commenced, butsuch reports
as have been received, so far, from persons
who are using the Cylinder gins are
highly favorable, and indicate that they
are doing good and satisfactory work.
Sufficient gins are already at work to
thoroughly demonstrate their value this
year, and if the expectations Of the COM
parry are realized the operations will be
largely increased to meet the demand for
next years crop.
In addition to the gins sold in the
United States, the company have
exported gin to Russia for trial upon
cotton which is being grown in the
southern part Of the Cars dominions.
Prince Takamine, of Japan, who is
now in Charleston, visited the workshops
of the Cylinder Gin Company few days
ago, and saw one of the Cylinder gins at
work. He expressed great satisfaction
with the working of the machine, and
has obtained full information from the
company looking to the introduction of
the gins into the Empire of Japan.
Prince Takamine says that considerable
cotton is raised in Japan by the natives
for their own consumption, and be
describes the process by which they gin
the cotton as extremely slow and expen-
sive. His idea is to supply the farmers
with small cylinders to be worked by
hand, which he thinks vii! enable them
to raise more cotton and gin it quickly
and cheaply.-Neacs and Courier.

A Curious Case.

A Savannah attorney is looking up
the law in most peculiar case, with the
view of possibly filing the papers in
suit for $1,000. The circumstances are
these: A few months ago a gentleman
met q young friend and inquired about
his family. The young man had been
once blessed with twins and expressed
some fear of again being blessed in the
same manner at no remote date. "Well,
should it occur, will give you present
of $1,000," remarked Mr.. Blank, joking
ly to the young father.
Two bystanders were asked if they
heard the promise. They replied that
they did, and promised to be witnesses in
case they were needed.
A few days ago the young mans family
was increased by two new members on
the same day. In the e1uberance of his
happiness he forgot all about the promise
until reminded of it by one of the wit.
nesses. Mr.. Blank has been presented
with bill for 81, 900 which he declined
to pay. He says that the agreement was
a mere joke and not in the nature of
contract. Another ground of the de-
Tense will be that the remark was in the
nature of bet or wager, and therefore
illegal and not collectable. Besides he
says it is quite probable that the plaintiff
in the contemplated suit knew whereof
he spoke when he accepted the PROPOSE.
ton, and was therefore betting on Ger.
tainty. That would constitute fraud or
dacantinn and under the I'm written layVa
of betting, the loser is not compelled to
pay in such case. Another plea will be
that the contract was not one that could
be performed within a year and should
therefore have been in writing. Unfor.
tunately for the defendant the facts in
the case will crush this last plea.
The plaintiff contends that no bet was
made and that he was not betting on o
certainty. On the contrary, he claims
that there was clear con: .act, his part
of which has been fulflled.-,Savannah
